Good evening, thank you. I just need to clear something up before we go on to the next award. I am Patrick Stewart, I am NOT Ben Kingsley. It's just that backstage somebody just congratulated me on my performance in *Learning to Drive*. It was not a critic by

the way, it was a fan, but I ask you this: why is it only fans who think I'm Ben Kingsley and not casting directors? I mean come on, Ben, scatter a few crumbs from the table, can't you? But I am here to present the Best Drama Series and

this year this particular award will carry more weight than usual because I shall be announcing it in a British accent. In fact, I am announcing it in Ben Kingsley's British accent. Here are the nominees for Best Drama Series: *The Knick* proved today that a man can be operated

on with no general anesthesia. *Mr. Robot* This is a delusion. Is this a delusion? This gets out. Unreal. I'm so mean. Quad. Okay, she's gorgeous. She went to Spelman. It is not my fault that America's racist. *People* *The Leftovers* *Empire* No, Osius. 

A doubt of Jesus Christ himself, cuz saving without burning his hands. *Rectify* We've never gotten this far. Everybody, I mean, never been over here. *Penny Dreadful* I wanted to scream and hold the door, curl up in my little bed and sleep and sleep, but you came closer and the

Critics Choice is *Mr. Robot*. Except for *Mr. Robot*, arts, past executive producers, and yes ma'am. All right, before I forget, I think the insane hooligans in the writers' room. Okay, so now I'll start like so. Okay, I grew up. It's like a weird Egyptian kid

in New Jersey, right? And I didn't really fit in anywhere, so I lost myself in movies and TV shows, and I became this really film-obsessed nerd. And one of the things that you do when you're a film-obsessed nerd is you read a lot of

reviews. That's sort of like your film school, you'd like start learning about storytelling and filmmaking. The other thing you do is you start discovering all these like new, strange TV shows that are like amazing and movies that you would have never discovered if it

weren't for those reviews. So to the critics, I just have to thank you for your wonderful support because without you, I don't think people would have discovered our strange little show. So thank you so much.
